Cathy May - Contributing Writer

Tim Brancamp, president of the Napoleon Town Board, reported he had met with one engineering firm regarding the Storm Water Survey and plans to meet with several other firms in the next few weeks. The Storm Water Survey is needed in order to get a grant to help with storm water problems through the state.

The Fixed Asset Survey has been completed. The town was required to go back in their records and find the original costs of all capitol projects. The survey will be returned to the Department of Commerce this week.

The board discussed the need for more fire hydrants. There are currently six located throughout the town. It is hoped to add five or six more.

Rod Eaton, utility manager, reported on his qualifications for the gas department. The town will look into options for a potential back-up person.

The board dismissed to select the poles where the new Christmas lights will be placed. The lights will add $3.19 per month to the cost of each light. It was suggested that the town look into the possibility of adding floodlights to the new welcome signs and the sign in front of the Napoleon Senior Center.

It was reported the Halloween party had been very successful and several children attended.

All three board members, Tim Brancamp, Bill Vankirk, and Gerry Linnarducci, were present for the meeting. The next meeting will be held on December 8, at 7:00 p.m. at the Napoleon Senior Center.
